2007 Tenuta di Trinoro

Andrea Franchetti's Tenuta di Trinoro is located in Sarteano, one of the most remote corners of Tuscany. Franchetti crafts his top wine, also called Tenuta di Trinoro, from densely planted vineyards cropped to minuscule yields. In the cellar, the selection is equally stringent, with only the finest barrels making it into the Grand Vin.' Tenuta di Trinoro remains one of the most iconic wines being made in Tuscany today. Unfortunately I don't get a chance to taste the Tenuta as much as I used to as its price has become prohibitive. I can't argue with what Franchetti puts in the bottle, however, as these are spectacular wines. Fortunately, in recent years Franchetti has introduced a second wine, Le Cupole di Trinoro, which in its finest vintages delivers incredible quality for the money.
